    As you sift through SEO posts every once and a while you see a comment about "make sure you have a good internal linking startegy".

    So my question is what do you define as a good internal linking strategy?

    How many levels should your site structure encompass?

    Should all external links have a nofollow?

    Share your thoughts!
    :)

    Hmm, well I have 3 levels: index/categories/articles. It seems to be working well with the index and category pages getting PR5, most articles have PR4 and some have PR5. Any time I have relevant information on one article related to another, I link between them even if they're in the same category. So that's why some pages have 5 and others 4. Makes me wonder what would happen if I linked to ever page from every page eh?

    I've put up nofollow on all external links that aren't reciprocal or that I wish to purposefully, generously provide PR to. I also do redirects, particularly on comment links. It helps me to track which external links my visitors are following too (on a side note, my Urchin stats keeps crashing Firefox and Safari whenever I check on the stats for these URL variables, well, it has been today anyway...).
